I think I might have met this guy at some record shop in the late late 80's or early early 90's with my friend Jhan Dean Egg...he was doing a performance, I think the place was an experimental music store...was anybody there from this forum??

Wild Neil:
BSI-You knew Egg??? I used to live on his dormitory floor in Lawrinson at Syracuse University, he was studying synaesthetic education...

Wild Neil:
I should say, I lived on the same floor, not "on his floor"...

BSI:
@Wild Neil: yep, he was closest thing to a brother I had. We collaborated musically from '86 until he died . I wrote up a huge gooey memorial a while back. Get me off-board at bluesausageinfant [at] gmail , I'll sendum link...

oh no - had no idea that EGG was gone too -- knew him briefly here in NYC many years ago -- still have some of the Haunted Toilet stuff . . . :(

I just realized that I have a copy of Matt Howarth's Uberdub comic featuring Con who defends his long time friend Cthulu.

BSI:
@slugluv1313 - sorry, didn't mean to hijack the board with that heaviness. But FYI, I inherited the whole collection of Haunted Toilet masters & I'm planning to re-issue all that stuff via netlabel in the next year or two. The BSI/HT collab. is first, for very selfish reasons..... But for what it's worth, his back catalog is in safe hands.

Enjoyed the show so far today. Thanks Fabio and Gen Ken. Gots to run along now though.

BSI:
Finally got around to the Con @ Generator photo. Jeezus, I guess I hadn't seen that place since '89 or '90. I want a super-magnification. Some of those tapes look familiar in their blurred beauty.

Matt from Springfield:
Clay is asking his typical questions, of a DEAD man through the medium of his friend! This is a new triumph! And a cell ringing on Air! Awesome!

GREAT show Fabio (and Ken), a real education for me. If I had ever heard Conrad S. before it would only have been a song here or there. I had no idea what his music was about and how great and original he was. I must learn more about him. Thanks!

Jin@CONtribute:
Fabio and Gen Ken, thank you so much for the great show!
I could listen to the first 1 hour of the live show though it started at 4 AM in Japan time. And today I had a chance to listen to the entire show, that was archived. Yes, it was really helpful that the entire show was archived. I hope you have the second CONtribute show! All the best from Tokyo.
